Guess 5th time wasn't the charm for Mariah. After a lukewarm debut at #93 last week, it slips to #95 this week, and will go down as one of her lowest-charting singles ever if things don't pick up.

Nice song anyhow

It's getting more airplay here than her 4th single did. And it's a better song.

They arent playing it at all here.

That's one of Neptune's best songs of recent, ya reckon?

Have you heard Pharrell's mixtape with DJ Drama?

dreamfactory313 said:

Yeah. I couldn't avoid "Don't Forget About Us" and I don't think I heard this one once. In fact I was convinced that "Lonely", the only song I've heard that I really like from this album, was her next single. Got a ton of airplay here. The more R&B/hip-hop only oreinated stations have been playing "Fly Like A Bird" here and there. It has a bigger chance at being a hit. I don't like something and the video is even less applying (Pharrel is like half Mariah's size). I honestly can't stand the song, myself. Weakest single yet.

But it's so... purple.

CinisterCee said:

You're right. It's purple, yes. I might give it another listen or too. Just too much Snoop and Pharell distract from that, too.

CinisterCee said:

Love it. Hope it hits.

The video has been doing well on TRL, as if that means anything.

Guess more people have to download it off iTunes and other music services because that's the best way to obtain chart success these days.

People are probably tired of her. She's released too many singles from this album.

This is my favorite song on the album. I can't belive it's not doing well. But Ms. New Booty is?????

Her fans aren't tired of her. Say Something may not be edging out of the Top 100 but the video is/was number one, Fly Like A Bird gets regular rotation on many stations, and there's a nice buzz over a possible tour.

Maybe they should have done a vid for Fly altho I think it's one of those songs that doesn't need a video especially since visuals aren't her strong suit.

Pathetic isn't it? It's my favorote song on The Emancipation... too. I'm glad it's doing well on TRL but it's still early for the song so we'll see how much higher it will go on the charts.

lyecry said:

I don't think it does. "Sorry" did well but never went higher than 58 on Billboard 100, which might not be so bad, I guess.

Joshua23 said:

Right. And the fact is that the public isn't used to this. Didn't Gwen's latest single "Crash" not do anything, either. The days of releasing five or six singles from an album are over. Record companies would be happy if they could do the job with just one!

VinnyM27 said:

That's all hindsight though. Ya never know if even the 3rd or 4th single will hit until you release it.

I wish this song didn't have Snoop's rap in it, but after the Heathrow incident I'm enjoying it more.

CinisterCee said:

yes, it "screams of passion"

funkin4kix said:

Why is that the first song everyone thinks of? Is it the opening lyrics?

I thought of "Screams Of Passion" too but, I don't know why.

2 bad. Has "Fly Like a Bird" been released as a single? (I think that's what it's called) I've been hearing it on the god awful urban station where I live.

JackieBlue said:

Mariah Tours?

The label must have been short on payola funds for the single hm?

CinisterCee said:

I also hear alot of "White Mansion", but a little faster..

funkin4kix said:

That's the first thing I thought when I heard it.

musicman said:

Can you pinpoint WHY you (and so many others) thought of that song first?

I JUST heard "Say Somethin" on the radio, played as part of their normal rotation.

Good. She needs to learn.
